1 Manfredi was still talking about coming up to the Page 66 2 office. He contacted me, told me that I needed to 3 fire off an e-mail to further frighten Manfredi and 4 to be in conjunction with the fact that this police 5 officer was at the office. 6 Q. You say here, "I advised that he is not in 7 the country and that I am unaware of his travel 8 schedule." 9 Was that to suggest to Albert and to 10 Manfredi that you were telling the police something 11 that wasn't true to get them off of the trail? 12 A. Yes. 13 Q. There's another e-mail. It's T-AP00213. 14 This has the person's name in it it so I'm not going 15 to mention it, but it says: Mr. Blank stopped by for 16 Mr. Lefebvre, and the blank is the name of the 17 officer. 18 It was sent to you by a Vicki C. at 19 Silversea Cruises and it says, "Scott wanted you to 20 know right away." 21 Do you recall the circumstances behind that 22 e-mail? 23 A. I do. 24 Q. Can you describe them, please? 25 A. I had dispatched this officer to Silversea
1 after discussing the issue with Albert and problems Page 67 2 we were having with Manfredi, and I specifically told 3 the officer to ask for Ms. Carmichael, who was the 4 director of human resources, so it would appear that 5 he had been and had knowledge about the people at the 6 company and the like. 7 He did what I asked him to do and Vicki 8 wrote to me about it. 9 Q. And then I have an e-mail -- this is 10 T-AP00215. This was to Albert Peter and Freddy 11 LeFebvre, Amerigo Perasso with a copy to you sent by 12 Rita Alijaj, A-L-I-J-A-J, and this says -- again, 13 this has a different name so I'm not going to use the 14 name, but it says: I just received a call from Blank 15 from the organized task force asking to speak with 16 Albert, Manfredi or Amerigo. I asked what it was 17 regarding and he would not specify. I explained 18 Albert was not available and Mr. Lefebvre and 19 Mr. Perasso were currently out of the country. He 20 said this is a big conflict and said he would call 21 again next week. Thank you. 22 Do you recall the circumstances of that 23 e-mail? 24 A. What's the date? 25 Q.
